Neon for the bedroom
The most common mistake with a bedroom sign is not the colour but the brightness. Here is what does work.
Go warm, not cold
Blue and cool white light suppress melatonin more strongly than warm colours do. If you want the sign on late in the evening, pick warm white, yellow, orange, pink or red. Those colours also sit more kindly on a bedroom wall.
Still want blue or purple because it suits your room? Fine — just turn the dimmer down before bed.
The right width
Above a double bed, 60 to 90 cm works best. Wider than the bed itself rarely looks good, because then your sign starts competing with the headboard. For a single bed or above a desk, 40 to 60 cm is usually right.
How high do you hang it?
Reckon on roughly 25 to 35 cm above your headboard. Hang it too high and it belongs to the ceiling instead of to the bed. Hang it too low and it shines in your face when you sit up.
Dimming and switching off
A dimmer on the cable is standard, but in a bedroom you usually also want a switch within reach. Two practical options: a power strip with a switch next to your bedside table, or a smart plug you control from your phone or a voice assistant. A sign you can switch off from bed stays on far more often during the day.
Power and safety
There are 12 volts on the tube itself — safe extra-low voltage. The 230 volts stays in the adapter, and that does not belong under your duvet or behind a curtain but somewhere it can lose its heat.
From idea to light in three steps
No quoting process that drags on for weeks. You send us what you have in mind, we draw it up, and the moment you say yes the tube goes on the bending table.

Related questions
How quickly will my sign arrive in the Netherlands?
Three working days after you approve the design. We build your sign in our workshop in Heusden-Zolder and ship from there to your Dutch address. So yes, the parcel crosses a border — that is already counted in those three days.
Order on a Friday afternoon and approve on Monday morning and Thursday is your day. Sundays do not count.
What does shipping to the Netherlands cost?
Nothing. Shipping to any Dutch address is included. The Wadden Islands too, although those sometimes take a day longer.
What does a custom neon sign cost?
Most signs for the home land between € 180 and € 450. For a shopfront or a bar, expect € 400 to € 1,200 depending on width and letter count.
Price follows the metres of bent tube, not the number of characters. A short name in a heavy typeface costs more than a long sentence in a thin script. The design tool shows it live.
I only have my logo as a JPG. Is that a problem?
Send it over. We redraw your logo as a bendable path ourselves, and that is included in the price. A sharp JPG or PNG is enough; an SVG, AI or EPS just makes it faster.
What we cannot do is turn a photo with fifty gradients into neon. Neon is a line of light, not a print. The design mock-up shows you exactly what survives.
Do I see the design before you start?
Always. You get a to-scale design with dimensions. Nothing goes on the bending table until you say yes. That mock-up is free, even if you decide not to order.
How much power does a sign use?
Far less than people expect. A 60 cm sign draws roughly 12 to 20 watts — about the same as a compact fluorescent. Run it eight hours a day and at € 0.35 per kWh that is around € 20 a year.
One workshop, two sites
neonledsigns.nl is the Dutch site of neonled.be
Not a partnership, not a reseller, not a second company: it is the same business. The same workshop in Heusden-Zolder, the same bending table, the same people on the phone and the same signs.
We keep two sites because a Dutch customer asks different questions than a Belgian one — about iDEAL, about shipping across the border, about permits from their own council. Those answers belong where you go looking for them.
